Subject has no notability of her own and is only known because she married a notable person. Fails WP:BIO. No evidence of significant coverage of her by reliable third party sources. Most coverage is peripheral to coverage of her husband. Notability is not inherited. Niteshift36 (talk) 23:09, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Virgil Earp. "That was our life: workin' and sitting home. Good women didn't go any place." Not exactly the stuff of legend. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:50, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * It that lengthy name a likely search term? Niteshift36 (talk) 19:27, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, JForget  00:53, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge to Virgil Earp. Edward321 (talk) 14:59, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Merge or redirect to Virgil Earp if her only claim to fame is having been married to him. J I P  | Talk 07:21, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Question: If we redirect this, which is where it looks like it is headed, should we change the title to something like "Alvira Earp" or "Allie Earp" (which is how she is more commonly known)? The title, as it stands, is a very unlikely search term. Niteshift36 (talk) 18:49, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Note: I have boldly moved this article to Allie Earp per WP:COMMONNAME. A redirect has been left behind at Alvira "Allie" Packingham Sullivan Earp, and a redirect created at Alvira Earp. Having looked at this discussion, I don't believe this is a contentious move, or that it will cause undue confusion. Wine Guy  ~Talk  06:46, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * So now we're going to redirect Allie Earp to Virgil Earp when this closes??? Niteshift36 (talk) 06:49, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * That's what I would suggest. The article title Alvira "Allie" Packingham Sullivan Earp really should never have existed per common name, and both Alvira Earp and Allie Earp are plausible search terms. I was really just trying to do a bit of sensible housekeeping before the closing admin arrives. If you think the move is improper, feel free to revert my actions.

 * No, no disagreement. I agree that the original title should have never been. I was just making sure I followed what was going on. Niteshift36 (talk) 07:05, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
